Jealousy (New edition)

See all formats and editions

In his most famous and perhaps most typical work, Robbe-Grillet explores his principle preoccupation: the meaning of reality.

The novel is set on a tropical banana plantation, and the action is seen through the eyes of a narrator who never appears in person, never speaks and never acts.

He is a point of observation, his personality only to be guessed at, watching every movement of the other characters' actions as they flash like moving pictures across the distorting screen of a jealous mind.

The result is one of the most important and influential books of our time, a completely integrated masterpiece that has already become a classic.
